How to bowl for free in D-FW on Aug. 12, National Bowling Day

As if we needed another excuse to stay inside and out of the heat, Aug. 12 is National Bowling Day, and all Bowlmor AMF locations in the U.S. are celebrating by offering free rounds.

To get your free game at any of the 10 locations in the D-FW area, all you need to do is download the new BowlMojis app. It's just what it sounds like: an app that lets you add bowling-themed emoji stickers to texts, from pins with heart eyes to balls being chased by rainbows.

Then, swing by Bowlmor to redeem a free game anytime from opening on Aug. 12 till 8 p.m. Some locations may also have additional giveaways and parties. Shoes are not included, so don't forget to bring yours, if you have that level of bowling commitment. Or, pay to rent shoes on-site.

National Bowling Day has been around for more than 60 years, since the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America, Inc. organized hundreds of bowling tournaments in 48 states to raise money for the American Red Cross, according to the National Day Calendar. Events for the big day have waned since that 1956 event, but in recent years, Bowlmor AMF has hosted specials each year on the second Saturday in August.

If you're looking to fill those sweltering summer hours with air-conditioned activities, Saturday, Aug. 12 promises to deliver for just the price of an app download. Which is free. So why not, really?
